Here comes Halloween!!





I love Halloween....

I love Halloween! If you ask me the story behind it or the tradition, I would just shrug off my shoulders because I really don't understand it. But Halloween still is my favorite festival!

It's on this day that my kids are in-charge! I love to see their excitement and sense of accomplishment every step of the journey.
While my kids tell me what they want to be, I make it a point to ask them, do you really want to be a ninja/princess.... And what I get is priceless. A twinkle in their eyes with the most decided nodding and a look of accomplishment. I see that my child knows, if they really wants something, they will get it!!

Today is the day when it doesn't matter who you are or what you wear, at every door your child is greeted with a smile and a welcome only meant for them, from an adult who knows, these childhood days fly way too fast! Someone who cherishes the innocence, the playfulness, and the spirit of childhood.

Tonight when my children go Trick O Treating, I will stop looking at how much their basket is filled, or thinking about how much candy they are eating. What I will see is that my little princess feels like a true princess, a ninja who feels he can truly save the world and will cherish the love and kindness from our neighborhood.

When I open my door today to greet a Trick O Treater...   I will open to my heart to every child, who in rain or cold, is determined to knock every door, collect all the treats he/she can till feet are tired, and baskets are full. We teach our children to be passionate about what they do and put their best effort in everything, well parents, today is the day to see it come true!!! JJ
Every year after a few days of Ah! Things are so commercial now, why can't they have better quality if they charge so much, you’ve got candy enough to last more than a year, I finally give in.... By the end of the day every year I feel, it was well worth it!
